Quite a mixed bag of a story. I not keen on a company being forced to abandon their assets, but they clearly need punishment for their conduct. Maintaining the free market is important as long as companies aren't using that freedom to oppress others. Maybe some ludicrously high fines that a large company like TWC would be scared to pay for non compliance.
Also the FCC can get fucked if they think it's ok to make people pay them to tell them to do their job.
